In 1999, things were looking bleak for the American TV Game Show genre. There were no prime-time network game shows, and the only shows around were holdovers from the 1970s and 1980s — The Price Is Right, Whoopi Goldberg's Hollywood Squares revival, the latest (and lamest) Match Game revival, and evergreens Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!. Then ABC decided to try out an American version of a British show called Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, and quicker than you could say "A Mark Goodson/Bill Todman Production", a new era in the old format was born.

Of course, when a show is successful, everybody else wants to Follow the Leader. Many games, specifically in primetime, shamelessly borrowed many of the elements that made Millionaire so unique and successful.
